Project V Distillery: More Vodka to Woodinville

I found out that Project V Distillery & Sausage Company will have their Grand Opening on November 13th. Right now they will be producing Washington wheat vodka called Single Silo Vodka. They work with a farmer in Eastern Washington who has a single silo of wheat just for them. Project V started in 2008 and I spoke with Mac who is one of the four primary owners. Their goal is to make hand crafted products as simply as possible. They do have plans for whiskey, gin, and maybe a by-product of pressed grapes. As for the sausage, that may be some time. The plan is to use the wheat byproducts left over from the distilling to use as feed for pigs and then the pigs eventually end up as sausages, but this is a longer term project. I did get a lesson in distilling how the mash is made and how the distilling to done through the copper pipes. It is continually recirculated from liquid to vapor by heating and eventually it becomes vodka.
